Arizona beat Pt.Loma wednesday 52-44. Arizona had 6 players dressed but the 6th, Cunningham, played only 1 minute!

What hard times Arizona has fallen to. UCLA was there recently too. I think we had a game within the last couple of years when UCLA dressed only 7?

Though in total fairness, we could say that after someone set their own house on fire, they fell on hard times. I'm not sure I can think of a coach who has recruited over her own recruits, misused the transfer portal, and failed to identify players who actually fit her program's culture more than Barnes. And I say this as someone who really, really likes her, but man, she could use the pro equivalent of a GM. When it comes to personnel decisions, I'd grade her close to a D since McDonald went pro in 2021...

I’d say Kelly Graves has had a similar experience at Oregon since the stellar Hebard-Ionescu-S Sabally team graduated. He’s had significant roster churn including the entire subsequent #1 recruiting class (Dugalic, Pao Pao, Parrish, Scherr, Watson) transferring out of Eugene. Similarly to Barnes approach Graves has gone with a shorter roster and stopped recruiting over the team’s star freshmen.
RE: jk1926 - 81alum - 11-02-2023
Yes, Graves and Barnes have had constant roster churn of late and my admiration for each of them plummeted accordingly. But they will be taking their problems to other conferences and out of my line-of-sight soon enough.
